In 2013, holmium laser
enucleation of the prostate
(HoLEP) may be the new
'gold standard'
› An overview dedicated to explain the techniques for Holmium
laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).
› Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a real
alternative to Transurethral resection of Prostate (TURP) and
open prostatectomy with proven advantages.
› Comparing holmium laser enucleation and high performance
prostate photoselective vaporization for adenomas greater
than 60 ml in 80 patients in two groups.
› A higher maximum flow rate and lower post-void residual
urine were noted in Holmium group. Prostate volume and
serum PSA decreased in 78% and 88% in the holmium
laser group, and 52% and 60% in the vaporization group,
respectively.
› Outcome measures, as maximum flow rate and post-void
residual urine of holmium laser enucleation appear to be
superior to those of photoselective vaporization.
› Assessing why Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate
(HoLEP) has become an important treatment modality for
Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH).
› The learning curve is actually similar to many other current
urological procedures, and the efficacy of HoLEP is equal to
that of other surgical procedures.

section of Prostate (TURP) procedure in 120 patients with
BPH with prostate volume of more than 60 cc.
› The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPPS) was
found to be better in the HoLEP group (4.6) versus 5.9 in
the TURP group.
› HoLEP has proved to be effective in treating large pros-
tates with minimal morbidity, better hemostasis, less
blood loss, and better voiding pattern than TURP after a
12-month follow-up.
› Experience with Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate
(HoLEP) for glands larger than 175 cc in 57 patients with
prostate volume range of 175–391 cc.
› Even in the large prostate gland, HoLEP provides a satisfac-
tory outcome with low morbidity. HoLEP is the only endo-
scopic technique that allows for tissue removal comparable to
that of open prostatectomy for such patients.
› Analyzing the effect of prostate size on the outcome of HoLEP
in 354 patients in 3 groups with different prostate weights: 60g
( group 1), 60–100 g (group 2) and >100 g (group 3).
› The mean procedure efficacy increased from 0.36 g/min in
group 1 to 0.49 g/min in group 2 and 0.58 g/min in group 3.
› HoLEP is a safe and effective procedure for treating
symptomatic BPH, independent of prostate size . The efficacy
of HoLEP increases with increasing prostate size.

› Cost analysis favored the VersaCut significantly, despite
the fact the Piranha achieved a slightly non significant high-
er morcellation rate at 5.6 gm per minute compared to the
VersaCut at 4.8 gm per minute.
› Morcellation rates for the two devices are comparable, with
the Piranha having a statistically significant increased cost,
more complicated design and less user-friendly.
› In vitro evaluation of two morcellators (Lumenis VersaCut and
Wolf Piranha) and two nephroscopes during HoLEP.
› For the Wolf and Lumenis morcellators, aspiration power
parameters were 20.4 mL/s and 22.2 mL/s, and morcellating
power parameters were 2.5 g and 6 g of tissue per minute,
respectively.
› The Lumenis morcellator is faster than the Wolf morcellator.
› Modification of the conventional morcellation procedure for
holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) at 395

Holmium for vaporization of
the prostate
Holmium laser for the surgical
treatment of benign prostatic
hyperplasia
› Examination of using a high-powered Holmium laser
system for vaporization of prostate (HolVAP) in 100
patients with BPH
› Post-operatively, American Urology Association score
(AUA), Post-Void Residual Urine Test (PVR), and Urine
flow rate (Qmax) were improved significantly (9.4 versus
24.1, 33 versus 175, and 15.3 versus 8.2, respectively).
Intraoperative visualization and surgeon satisfaction has
been excellent. Patients were treated with no hospital
admission unless other comorbidities were present.
› Experience with HolVAP using 120 W Holmium laser
system has demonstrated significant improvements in
both subjective and objective parameters. The increase
in overall power and advancements in the laser fiber
technology provide greater hemostasis and a shorter
operative time.
› Comparing the outcomes of Holmium laser vaporization of
the prostate (HolVAP) with prostate enucleation (HoLEP) in
198 patients in two groups
› Patients in the HolVAP group had significantly shorter
operative times (77 versus 119 minutes). No significant
differences were found in flow rate outcomes between
groups.
› Both HoLEP and HolVAP are appropriate surgical
procedures for the management of BPH. When performed
correctly, HolVAP technique produces similar results to
HoLEP, and may present a shorter operative time.

Prostate volume and serum PSA decreased in 78% and 88% in the holmium laser group, and 52% and 60% in the vaporization group, respectively. › Outcome measures, as maximum flow rate and post-void residual urine of holmium laser enucleation appear to be superior to those of photoselective vaporization. › Assessing why Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has become an important treatment modality for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH). › The learning curve is actually similar to many other current urological procedures, and the efficacy of HoLEP is equal to that of other surgical procedures.

Of the assessable patients, none required re-operation for recurrent BPH in the HoLEP arm and 3 patients out of 17 required re-operation in the TURP arm. › HoLEP is at least equivalent to TURP in the long term with fewer re-operations required in the HOLEP group. › A Review of the development of instruments, current tech- nique, and expected outcomes for HoLEP. › Currently Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is the only procedure with superior outcomes to TURP on urodynamic studies and long-term studies , and is suitable for all prostate sizes. › HoLEP is a safe and effective surgical treatment for symptomatic BPH, when using high powered laser and morcellation system. › Comparing the safety and efficacy of Holmium laser prostatectomy and Transurethral resection of Prostate (TURP) in 30 patients with BPH in two groups. › HoLEP is safe and effective in the surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, with the advantage of reduced intraoperative hemorrhage and perioperative morbidity.

The overall complication rate was compara- ble in the 2 groups. › HoLEP and TURP were equally effective for relieving obstruction and lower urinary tract symptoms. HoLEP was associated with shorter catheterization time and hospital stay. Complications were similar in the 2 groups. › Assessing safety and efficacy of HoLEP combined with me- chanical morcellation for bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in 330 patients. › Significant improvements were observed in Urine flow rate (Qmax=25.1+/-10.7 ml/s), the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS=0.7+/-1.3), and Quality of life scale (QOL=0.2+/-0.5). › HoLEP represents an effective and safe surgical intervention, and could be the standard “size-independent” surgical treatment for symptomatic bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to BPH.
